I've read people doubt Roy DeMeo's button which begs the question, was Roy DeMeo ever formally inducted into the Gambinos?

Yes he got made in June 1977

Thanks to Pogo.

June 24, 1977:
Gregory “Greg” DePalma (Sponsored by A. Gaggi)
Roy Demeo (Sponsored by A. Gaggi)
+ 8 others

They should have put two in his head beforehand. And the guy who sponsored him also. He was a sick, sick guy

Yes but was a good earner but Big Paul drsnt want to made Roy but accepted the money that he and his crew made selling drug but when convenced the Westies to made an all'interno with the Gambinos,Castellano had no esxcuses for say no to Nino Gangi that wanted Roy made.
Roy was killed due Castellano paranoia but he wouldnt flip.

Guy was kicking up $20 k a week at one point. Thats a million a year so why whack him when you can just clip him 5 years down the road?

Roy was definitely made, Sammy Gravano said he was made around the same time as each other.


Roy Demeo was the most powerful soldier in NYC LCN history. What non capo/boss made as much as him or have a crew as ruthless and wealthy as he did?What other soldier ever commanded 5-10 core members who could kill and earn?Chris Rosenberg probably earned more then half the made guys in the Gambinos during the 70s and he was a forever associate.

Seeing this guys name and picture all over the internet lately is sickening. He could’ve made 50 grand an hour, all you need to know about him is:

He doesn’t have any family or loved ones honoring him.
He left behind zero respectful legacies
He’s only honored by mouth breathers on the internet with sick fantasies

Most powerful? He got slapped around by the real tough guys. Surrounding yourself with other serial killers leaves you in a trunk eventually.

How real tought guys slapped him? He was so feared that Gotti wouldnt try to kill Castellano if Roy would be alive. He sell toni of cocaine,made milions with stole l'usura cars directly with his boss. He was a criminal and a serial killer and so what? Do you know hoe many of your tought guys was killed by their friend?

I said what I said. He & his crew were bums. The others got their kick backs and disposed of RD.

You leave your legacy to your kin. His kin are embarrassed he was a pe do psycho. Who cares that anonymous internet accounts worship you when your son is in hiding? Food for thought

Yeah, when he was no longer useful to them, all the money he kicked up and all the hits he did didn't matter anymore. He ended up in a trunk anyway.

Slapped around by real tough guys?roy was the tough guy.

Roy is one of, if not THE ONLY person to kill a made man as an associate and never get killed for it. Joseph Brocchini thought he was a tough guy. Roy and his crew whacked him with Nino Gaggi's full support. If it had ever came out Roy, Nino, Henry, Joey and Anthony all would have died. But Roy was making and doing so much Nino sanctioned it. That alone tells how powerful Roy was.

If anyone slapped Roy DeMeo they'd be dead. Someone actually punched him in the face and that guy was whacked.

Yeah Joe Bikini. And Joe Bikini was a big time Lucchese soldier. Their porn king. And Roy still didn't care, he was going to kill him for that.

Total fiction this guy is claiming that "real" tough guys slapped Roy around.

Got that right; No-one was going to slap Roy and get away with it; You we’re going to take a old time dirt nap if you did.

Roy was a made guy. But IMO he was one of the lowest caliber, most degenerate hoods around. In fact I consider him (and his brood), to be little more than depraved serial killers.

And as far as Joe Bikini went. He couldn't beat Joe in a hand to hand fight, if Joe had both hands tied behind his back. THAT was proven out by the physical beating JB handed him.

But he "snuck" Joe. He pulled a "cop a sneak" on him. That doesn't take a "tough guy," just a sneaky fuck! Anybody can apply 5 ounces of pressure to pull a trigger. And thats what happened to him.

DeMeo, and all these same type of scum, for me are just that, scum!

It's one thing to have to do a piece of "work" if called upon. Most guys do it begrudgingly because its GOTTA be done. And most do it with a heavy heart.

It's quite another thing to enjoy that sort of thing, and actually relish your work. Especially to cut them up, drain their blood, and whatnot. Thats vampire shit for me. And the sure sign of a sick, sick puppy.

And shame on Castellano for closing his eyes to that sort of thing.

I have NO respect for scumbags like that.

This nails it on the head. Roy & his crew were not tough. They couldn’t handle things man on man like many do - so they ran home, cried and snuck around.

Little pyscho pedo Roy was a punk who ended up being a rat. Wired up. You can say he was paranoid it doesn’t matter he wasn’t fit for the life, was only fit to be a serial killer. Is Jeffrey Dhamer now a tough guy? Or just a nut

In all fairness Joe Bikini got what was expected. You don't go around putting your hands on people expecting there to be no repercussions. Keep your hands to yourself. As far as being a tough guy, I don't consider him physically tough, but hey, if you can make people disappear and never have to deal with them again, who needs to be tough? Lol

JB made 10x more than Roy. Some losers just can’t take a beating just like Nino didn’t when he got smacked around by a kid. They were all mental midgets.

First of all it was never proven that Roy DeMeo was a pedophile. His crew actually whacked out a pedophile for touching the nephew of a mob associate. Second of all, he was NEVER wired up. You have zero credibility for making that statement. In fact if I was an admin I'd ban you from ever commenting here again for spreading such blatant lies.

Roy DeMeo wanted to bring child po rn and trafficking into JB stores / outfits on 42nd. JB refused, and was so disgusted by it after Roy mouth offed he gave Roy a beating. These are stone cold facts, Roy and his loser crew knew they couldn’t handle JB & his, so they did the sneaky fuck move. Where are they all now? Dead or broke with 0 legacy to ones who get it.

RD pimped out kids from the streets. This is a fact.

We don't know who made what, we can only speculate. Like I said, very few people with the power to make people disappear wouldn't if they were punched in the face or smacked around. It's easy to say what you would or wouldn't do when you're just an average Joe without such pull.

Saying Roy "snuck" Joe is a little biased, considering Roy was not allowed to punch back. Nothing was proven except Joe Brocchini is also a sneak knowing he was hitting someone who could not hit back. Roy in only a decade took over a credit union, and moved tons of cars and dope amassing millions. As for the bad stuff he was peddling, yes it is disgusting and wrong. But we are talking about guys who almost all had murdered someone in their lives. Roy was a good father and family man so that sick stuff was just business.

Grow up. Ban me. Go ahead haha. I have nothing but stone cold facts about stuff you fantasize about

Who's broke? Dead is more like it. Roy's involvement in child porn is speculation, albeit likely, but not proven. And I highly, highly, highly doubt he pimped out any kids.

-----
First of all, Joe didn't throw the first punch. Roy got loud, tried pushing his weight around like the big mouth that he was. What he did not realize was that he had the wrong guy. He didn't realize Joe's true reputation. Roy raised his hands to Joe first. Joe then proceeded to knock Roy dead. Busted him up bad.

Now, I'm gonna make a few VERY controversial statements here, ok? (Don't ask me how I know, but I know, ok??) What I'm about to say is FACT.

The beef between Joe B and Roy was not about pornography. At all!

***[I just had to delete 2 entire statements that I wrote. The reason I deleted this is that I gave the reasons for the beef between them. And some other key info about Joe as well. But you know what? I cannot print it. Its not right for me to reveal what I was about to write. In truth, Its nobodies business. No offense to you or anybody else for that matter. And I hope that no offense is taken by me saying that.]

But I will say this. Joe Bikini kicked the shit out of DeMeo. And the brooding DeMeo couldn't live with that fact and plotted his revenge....period!

Joe Bikini was a good guy. A real good guy. And one hell of a tough guy. Bar none!

You may say that I do not know what it is I'm saying. But you would be wrong. Very wrong! I do hope you take me at my word about this incident, because what I say is the Gods honest truth ok.

Okay, maybe not ban you. But to suggest someone was wired up while he and his crew were busy killing and dismembering people and jacking cars is nothing short of laughable.

You said the same thing last week about another mafia member! You keep making absurd claims that everyone knows is false.
